A vacation home inside an orchard lot. Safe & quiet neighborhood. It's a 2.5 hour drive from Manila. The site is a 10 min. drive to city center, a 10 min. walk to resort and public transportations. Caretaker lives in the vicinity for added security.

The house is very spacious and sits in an orchard property with trees that bear fruit like; Lansonez, Rambutan, Calamansi, Coconuts, etc. It also has a separate small house at the side and an outdoor kitchen in the making.

The property is about a 10 minute walk to the public resort, a 10 minute drive to the city center: market, grocery store, school, municipal hall. It is also about a 30 minute drive to Pagsanjan falls and the famous Liliw, Laguna shoe & slipper stores.

Thank you for the beautiful backyard with all those delicieuos fruits and that we could eat them for free. The house is kind of oldfashion but still confortable. We had really a lot of space. Unfortunatly, the bathroom and the kitchens were not really clean. The caretakers were really friendly, lovely and helpful. If you are not familiar with the area, it can be quiet difficult to find the house with the given adress, because it could not be found with the Navigation system. But at all, we had a nice Time at this place.

This exclusive 3-Bedroom farm house enjoys a peaceful setting in Jala-Jala, Rizal. It is ideal for family outings and team buildings
Our private staff can take care of you during your whole stay. With a cup of coffee, you can de-stress at the veranda overlooking the beautiful pool, Laguna de bay, Mt. Banahaw and Mt. Makiling. You can indulge your adventurous spirit by riding the ATV, glamping under the stars, or riding the native horses. A vacation close to nature is invigorating to the soul.

The town of Jalajala is known as the “PARAISO NG RIZAL”.
Jalajala is on a peninsula located 75 kilometres (47 mi) southeast of Manila in the largest lake in the Philippines Laguna de Bay.
It lies on the eastern part of the Province of Rizal. Mount Sembrano forms the boundary of Jalajala and Pililla.

Place was far-off the city which is great if you're taking a break from the day to day city life. Downside is its inaccessibility to public transport and the nearest convenience store is a 20-minute walk away. But Sharon has helpers around in her place who assisted in everything from cooking, cleaning and setting up. They even helped in fetching for cooking needs. She also provided alot of additional amenities the kids enjoyed like board games, ATV, and set up a bonfire during the night for smores and barbecue. It also has a basketball court and a field you can play football or ultimate frisbee with. Rooms are spacious and comfortably fits six people. Overall a great place to stay at with great value for money. Will definiltely recommend!

The place is great for relaxing and unwinding with your loved ones. The bonus treat is that there is Chelsea the horse, two small pigs and a couple of chickens to keep us company. The kids will really enjoy the open grounds, lots of grass to run and play.

Jose was at the house when we arrived and went out of his way to make us welcome. I love the selection of paintings around the walls and although I brought my own books I did take the opportunity to read a book from the library provided. Its not a great selection of books, more for show than reading but I did re read the Jungle Book - it seemed appropriate in the circumstances. We had a couple of days of heavy rain (which was welcome as it gave us a chance to just vegetate and relax at home) and we used the games and cards we brought with us which made for a great family time. I definitely recommend you bring some board games and a pack of cards - we found the kids (15 and 21) really got into them and appreciated the experience. A great change from just playing on their computers all the time. As a westerner I learnt two things at the house, 1. How to use a bucket & dipper to wash myself and 2. How to use a squat toilet (hard on the knees but not bad). That's probably more than you needed to know but I wasn't expecting it and was a little reticent at first but a week is a long time to wait. Finally, the rooms in the house are quite large, certainly by Filipino standards, so we never felt confined or hemmed in, even when it poured for two days and we were confined indoors. Suggestions for improvement: These are all fairly minor things but given Jose's already high standard of service they would just add some fruit for the sideboard. 1. Turn the fridge on the day the guests are arriving so it is cold when they put their food and drinks in it. 2. Add some hooks to the walls in the bathrooms to hang towels and clothes. Also a shelf in the master bathroom to put shaving gear or cosmetics. 3. There is nowhere to hang clothes or store them in the bedrooms. We hung them on the washing line outside the kitchen. There are plenty of coat hangers available. 4. The mattress on the main bed is quite thin and I got a bit sore after sleeping on it or lying on it to read a book. Must do You must visit the Isdaan Restaurant, the food is great and it is a real experience. It is like being in a Thai village and every group gets their own hut in which they are served. Talk a walk around the village or a free (to dining guests) boat ride on a sort of Gondola around the village. A great day out. All in all one of the most relaxing holidays I have had. A return to the simple but good things in life.

Great place for some alone time.

G2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

Our group of 8 enjoyed our stay at Jose's place, which had all the necessary facilities and services for a comfortable stay. Jose was a very accommodating host, who welcomed us even if we arrived late at around 11pm already.

Willy2016-12-25T00:00:00Z

It's value for money.

Phoebe2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

I was so desperate to find a place to stay for a few nights in Laguna, between Los Baños and Liliw. This house was most appropriate for someone who brings a dog with him. Jose was very courteous to call me 4 days early to give instructions on how to get there. There are several issues for improvement, but the owner is responsive to suggestions. The neighborhood is a simple peaceful rural community, most establishments close early in the evening. A short walk outside brings you to a 7-11 where you can buy your essentials. The bar in front of the house has good taste in music. I parked my car on the opposite side of the road where it was well lit and the car was not obstructing the road. The tv has a good signal. I had minor issues with the air conditioners, fridge, water heater, and stand fans, but I suppose the owner already made adjustments by the time you read this. All in all, the house was just okay for sleeping, especially if you have a dog and all other hotels in Laguna rejected you because you have a pet. I'm thankful that Jose shared his home with us.

Our home is located at the center of Pagsanjan Town very near quaint restaurants, bars and shops that line the historical town plaza. Pagsanjan is approximately 2 hours from Metro Manila via Los Baños or Sto Tomas Batangas.

The property is a heritage home renovated to include modern conveniences. Great care was taken to ensure the home stayed true to the original. All the wood from the old house were rescued and those that cannot be reused were repurposed into furniture, shelves, flooring and paneling. Even the old furniture such as the Console TV, Tube Radio's, Living and Dining Sets and Cabinets were kept and refurbished. The result is a well appointed, vintage home complete with all the modern amenities to make your stay convenient and memorable.

Pagsanjan is the center of tourism in Laguna province. It is famous for Pagsanjan Falls and the exhilarating canoe ride through the gorge and the rapids. Pagsanjan is also the geographic center of Laguna, which makes it an ideal base to explore the other destinations in the province such as; Caliraya Lake, San Pablo Seven Lakes, Cavinti Underground River and Cave Network, Nagcarlan underground cemetery, Mount Banahaw foothills of Majayjay and all the beautiful Churches of Laguna.

My family and I all had a good time in Levie's house. The place is very cozy and clean. All her rooms are spacious. In fact the house can accommodate more than 12 as her double beds can be slept by two people. Simply love the design and layout of her house . The kitchen has all the utensils we need. Her mom was so accosting and helped is arranged our pagsanjan tour and after the tour we were dropped off right at the back of their house! Simply convenient. The only improvement is that one of the big rooms where the 4 double decks are, seems the capacity of the aircon is not enough to cover the huge room. We put 3 electric fans to help compensate for it. Will definitely recommend and be back,

Cel2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

Ms. Levie's place has been perfect for our family's weekend trip to Pagsanjan. The house is well-maintained, complete with amenities (cable TV, wifi, spacious rooms with comfy beds), and the location is near the church and restos. Even my 2 year old son had fun running around the house and crawling at the mini garden at the back of the house. We will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. Special thanks to Ms Levie's mom, Ms Marina and her angel Rica who were very helpful and accommodating during our stay.

The house was a fusion of a modern interior design and a rustic quaint homey vibe! Our families enjoyed our stay there a lot. The host was also very gracious. Her mom was also kind enough to reserve boats for our Pagsanjan river adventure. She also recommended a restaurant where we had our lunch during our first day of stay. Each room has its own shower room/restroom, which made it very convenient for us, guests. Every corner is picturesque. The walls were also decorated with paintings and old photographs. The antique decors seemed to transport us back through time, yet its modern details made us feel close to home. Definitely a nice place to stay.

Summer2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

My family and I had a great time here. It's very spacious and cozy. Tita M was very accommodating too. We would love to come back to this place! :)

I inquired about the place 1 day before a long holiday weekend. I know it reflects poor planning on my end, but Deejay was able to accommodate my request and booking really fast! Even though she is based in Singapore at the moment, she made sure that there were people on her behalf that would welcome my friends and I. I owe a big debt of gratitude to Deejay and her family because my weekend trip happened which was a much needed break from a busy life. The place is just like what the picture shows with a nice location in Laguna. Would really recommend the place to my friends planning a trip in Laguna.

Donne Rich2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

Great and clean place

Avelina2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

We're canceled our trip one day before our actual check out date because of the following reasons: *The host is charging us extra payment for additional guests despite the fact that his ad says 'no extra charge' for additional people. *The host even asked us to leave in the middle of the night when we declined to pay. *Limited water supply-The host's overseer turns off the water supply at night. This was not explained to us beforehand. *There were flies everywhere inside the house. *Terribly noisy neighborhood. There were so many drunk teens walking around the neighborhood during our stay. *The bathroom gets flooded everytime we turn on the faucet. *The house only had one bathroom. The listing advertised two. *The overseer doesn't want us to use two rooms. We had to call the host and convince him that his listing is supposed to allow us to use two rooms because that's what's shown in the ad. *The host demanded that we all give him all the names of the individuals in our group. We felt harrassed and bullied by the host. Overall, this is a pretty traumatic and scarring experience to me and my family. The host seems to be ill equipped in the hospitality business and he made our entire stay miserable.

This exceptionally well appointed town house is perfect for those wishing to be located within San Pablo City for either vacation or business purposes. Just a five minute walk to Sampaloc Lake and City Hall. Walking distance to the vibrant town centre, and only ten minutes by car or tricycle to SM Mall.

The property is situated in it's own secure high-walled and gated grounds with ample external security lighting.

The house is nice and neat. All the basic amenities were available. It is indeed an ideal location with a safe and quiet neighborhood. We decided to leave our vehicle in the garage to go around the city and it was so easy to get a tricycle. Will definitely recommend the place to friends who also want a getaway from Manila that is just 2 hours away.

Our family stayed in Paul's place on a quiet Easter weekend. We chose his place because it was close to most places that we wanted to go to in San Pablo City. We were pleased to find out that there were a number of ways to get to his place from different points in the city. His place was simple and functional, with the appropriate selection of utensils and appliances that we needed for our stay. Ate Sonia from next door was very helpful, assisting us with parking and walking us through the operation of the gas range and hot shower. We also appreciate how easy it was to communicate with Paul (his response time was phenomenal, considering the time difference!) and Tito Doming. We hope to have the chance to stay there again.

Chi2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Mang Doming and his family, Paul's house caretaker, are friendly and accommodating. They made sure that we are comfortably settled in.

Maria Cristina2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Paul was very efficient in the booking processes and was very prompt in replying to any clarifications we had before making a booking. Likewise, any problems were swiftly dealt with during our stay. The property itself was clean and tidy. The neighbourhood felt safe and friendly. The property has aircon in the master bedroom and pedestal fans downstairs. It can get a touch hot downstairs if it's a hot and humid during the day/night. Overall I would highly recommend this property. It was pleasure to deal with Paul who has a very professional approach to making a booking.

If you are looking for a quiet and private place to stay without sacrificing the comforts of home, this is the place for you. Wake up to the sun as it rises behind the mountains that are just beyond Sampaloc Lake as you perch over from your balcony.

Country setting in the heart of the City.

As a solo traveler, I am so happy to choose this place as my accommodation in San Pablo. Bobby gave me a lot of suggestions before and after check-in. The house is very close to the lake but I feel safe to stay here. The caretaker Lando is very kind and helpful. Always check if I need anything.

We checked in late at night because we went around San Pablo in the morning. Since we arrived, they have been truly accommodating and attending to our needs. What the place lacks in modern accoutrements it filled with service. We stayed as 4 guests and found that there is more than enough room in the place. The view is amazing to wake up to. We have all the essentials and a basic kitchen. We are looking forward to coming back to San Pablo and booking this place again.

Our nature encased house will ensure comfortable stay. It is accessible to local market and shopping area. Great for staycations, honeymoons, family getaways. Tourist attractions nearby are Lake Pandin and Yambo, Liliw Laguna, Sulyap Cafe, Villa Escudero to name a few. 2-hrs drive from Manila.

Our space is definitely your home away from home.

Very serene and accessible.

This property, the Pool House, as its called, is definitely home away from home. My family and I stayed here for about 2 weeks and it has all the necessary amenities: air conditioning, wifi, amazing fully equipped kitchen, clean comfortable beddings, proper bathrooms, hot running water, even toilets with bidets, etc. Unfortunately, no microwave and the cable for the tv was still under repair so our host generously lent us several DVDs that we were able to watch both in the living room (with BOSE surround sound) and the bedroom. It literally has almost anything you could wish for in any rental home, especially in the Philippines. Tucked behind the back of a resort, we were able to feel safe knowing that the premises were secure and there are people a quick phone call away available to help us 24/7 with any needs. The grounds were beautifully surrounded by gardens and right across the house are 2 pools (1 for adults and 1 for kids) great for cooling down from the hot humid tropical weather. There is also a large event room next to the pools that was used for a debut party one night during our stay. The party was a bit loud but sounded very fun and it went on till 10pm so if you're not a fan of noise it may be a good idea to make plans not to be in the house during a night of an event, unless you're invited. ;-) Overall, it's a fabulous home and outstanding place to stay for our whole family!!

Cherwin2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

Our family stayed at Lizzy's place for two nights. It's the perfect location between Manila and hiking trails around Laguna. The house has a beautiful open floor plan with modern kitchen, and a large pool to relax in. Make sure to inquire if there are any events planned at Crisolaido resort and garden during your stay. It's located in front of the house and if events are going on, will have music playing until 10pm.

nikki2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Great place for a San Pablo stay - pool access modern well equipped home Little tricky finding it but Lizzy came thru with great directions Also recommend sulyap cafe and gallery for tea (it was excellent)
